Zig threw me off by taking sponsorships from AI companies, which was weird given their stance. Again, not a programmer, but looking to continue learning slowly and just by poking my head in the room sometimes, so I appreciate the recommendation. Any other languages you can soundly point me towards?

My only experience is in Python. I failed a basic course in it (lol), but I understood a lot conseptually, just struggled to memorize it all and work without references so ya know, tests were a fun time.
That said, my prof also voiced their distain for teaching Python, given its many shortcomings and the fact that other languages would be better suited for first-timers. Again, I struggled greatly with the course, but grasped the concepts alone quite well, so many of their points made sense and they kinda convinced me. Lol

All that to say maybe I DON'T want to learn a Python-like language. Can't even compile the damn thing. But I wouldn't know what other language to start with: one that's free of LLM bs and that's, like, not incompitent in such oddly specific ways as Python.

Anybody seeing wierd "unconstrained generic constant" errors (the ones that make you add "[(); Type::CONST]"), when you've already added those bounds, when you have associated constants on trait elements that have been touched by equality constraints?

I am wondering if this is a known compiler bug.

Oh joy, another seminar where Rust is crowned the savior of software development, because who doesn't love a language that's 30% syntax errors and 70% smugness? 🚀🤦‍♂️ Meanwhile, the rest of us are still waiting for the day when watching a video doesn't feel like signing a contract with Google. 📜✨

🚂 All aboard the overthinking express! 🚂 This alleged "Rust-shaped hole" is really just someone desperately trying to justify a trendy language switch. 🤔 Meanwhile, #TypeScript remains unbothered, effortlessly slicing through existential coder crises. 🍞🔪

Today's log for trying to get fiss (my Rust CLI for duplicating some of TaskWarrior's functionality using Forgejo issues) doing something useful. Tonight's goal is to get fiss list showing a list of issues to subscribe forge projects which no regards for filtering.

It's a weekday and I need to figure out how to assemble a weight machine, so hopefully this won't take wrong.

Narrator: Dylan was wrong, of course.

The rest will be unlisted.

Realized recently that you can get a decent approximation of lazy_static without any additional dependencies thanks to std's existing once stuff, something like this:

fn DB() -> &Connection {
   static CON: OnceCell = OnceCell::new();
   CON.get_or_init(|| { ... })
}

I took a look at Rust lately and I'm totally confused about the lifetime of variables.

But I was able to write some small modules with some structures including some implementations. Maybe I will use it in the future for CLI applications if I want speed and security.

Right now I use spectre.cli and dotnet for the task.

In all the excitement, it would be easy to overlook this announcement relevant to #pythondev s building large/busy projects with #python :
https://developers.home-assistant.io/blog/2024/04/03/build-images-with-uv/

I'm encouraged by the synergy between the #RustLanguage and Python communities, with several collaborations increasing adoption and familiarity of #rustlang .

Ok, I'm calling it a day.

starting to read through https://burn.dev/book/ to learn about what they refer to as a "deep learning framework"... which I assume just means #RustLanguage library/libraries for #LLM work.

looks like `time` crate devs decided to already bump their MSRV, resulting in our CI breaking. :(
